Approaches for Online Care and Personal Growth

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client guides the pace and topics of work. It is helpful for people seeking understanding, improved self-esteem, and stronger relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practical behaviors that keep problems going, and offers tools to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional balance. It can support people dealing with stress, rumination, and concentration or sleep difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alex works collaboratively with people to explore which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, and he adapts sessions so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Alex is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit work, family and daily routines. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session styles, and access support from wherever the client is located within the applicable service area.
